Risk…

Daily writing prompt
When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

Risk is an intimate friend…

I know in part my action will take some where. My silent friend with always his name is risk and he is often mom on where we are going in any particular start. I do what is in front and wait to see the lead as often it is cloked in the misty fog of future as all the affected wait.

Takes no glee in seeing me down.

My risk takes no pleasure in seeing me beside myself in the torment of thought, but delights in action that trusts him to a suitable outcome.

There is no complete failure in risk when tested the ill wind that blows no one any good is side barred by the thrill of action, and dismayed at seeing allies to my cause come along and ride the course.

This is gallows humour!🤪

So we draw on our resolve to try and we go on.

In life, risk cannot always be entirely avoided. While some risks can be detrimental, taking calculated risks can lead to growth, learning, and success. It’s important to evaluate the potential outcomes and weigh the benefits against the potential downsides before taking a risk. Embracing risk can lead to new opportunities and experiences that may not have been possible otherwise. Ultimately, the key is to strike a balance and take risks wisely.

Let risk be your friend, the person who said fools rush in where Angels fear to tread never understood that both places do not exist, they are like all areas of fear manufactured by mindset of doubt. When you attempt you take away the fear mongers power and invite faith to your side as a narrative of hope. Any time you are aroused by action not idle chatter you are on your way to some better place then rotting in sweated poisoned prose.

Lend a hear, have a beer.

Vancouver’s bid

Vancouver’s bid failed to get the support of the BC government and has floundered as The Americans enjoy favour on the 2034 salt lake city venue and others wonder when and why is a successful Olympics bid made.

Good for you.

Oil painting for beginners can be a rewarding and enjoyable artistic journey. Here are some essential tips to help you get started:

  1. Gather quality materials: Invest in good quality brushes, oil paints, canvases, and a palette. Opt for a range of brush sizes to cater to different details in your painting.
  2. Understand the basics: Familiarize yourself with oil painting basics such as color mixing, brush techniques, and different mediums.
  3. Start with simple subjects: Begin with simple subjects such as still life or landscapes. These subjects allow you to focus on mastering techniques without feeling overwhelmed.
  4. Use a limited color palette: Start with a limited range of colors to avoid feeling overwhelmed. As you gain confidence, you can gradually expand your palette.
  5. Experiment with different techniques: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different brush strokes, palette knife techniques, and layering methods.
  6. Allow layers to dry: Unlike watercolors or acrylics, oil paints take longer to dry. Take this into account when working on your piece, and consider allowing each layer to dry before adding more detail.
  7. Seek inspiration and guidance: Watch tutorials, read books, and observe the works of established oil painters to gain inspiration and learn new techniques.

Remember, the key to improving your oil painting skills is practice and patience. Enjoy the process and don’t be disheartened by initial challenges. Happy painting!Ai
